      Verdict

      Rajinsky has changed stables since finishing down the field in the Cesarewitch in October but did beat recent Thirsk winner Get Shirty earlier at Ascot. Monsieur Lambrays still looks a couple of pounds too high but Haliphon has had a couple of quick runs since joining Ian Williams. RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE (NAP) finished third in the Melrose last year after earlier wins at Carlisle and Ayr. He just failed to fend off Haizoom at Musselburgh later but should turn the tables here on 4lb better terms and has the scope to go on to better things this year. Military Two Step is fit from the all-weather but appears to have something to find on the form book.
